The legs would just rest on the sandy bottom, not create any kind of a motion which would disperse sand.

I'm only considering this as an alternative to my existing boat lift, so if you find any ankle-twisting chuck holes at your favorite sand bar, they won't be from me.
The thing is that anchor lines also help add some natural distance between boats. I could easily see a bay full of elevated pontoons with people ending up getting parked up if they weren't careful.
